Hi Jim ~

I'm sure most all of us would send congratulations on your physical test results!
I'm sure I would!!

If you do send this doc some "reading," may you also send it out to the general
membership?

Again, congratulations!  May we all impress our doctors!

  We've one of those here in Dallas.  Not afraid in the least of the  
  burgers minus the buns.  It's the fries and the shakes, with their  
  high carbohydrates, that'll kill you.

  Quick story.  Just went in for my physical this morning -- first time  
  in six years -- and the doc, who's gotten even more portly than the  
  last time I saw him (a nice fellow, however), says, Hey, you're really  
  looking good!  Great physcial specimen.  Blood pressure is ideal,  
  weight is perfect, everything checks out great.  You must be a  
  vegetarian, huh?  I inform him quite that I'm quite the opposite: low  
  carb paleo with no fear of saturated fats.  As a matter of fact, I  
  say, I fear a glass of orange juice more than I fear the fattiest pork  
  rib.  He then replies, well you're an exception.  No average person  
  could be healthy eating what you're eating.  That's before I remind  
  him that I was eating the same thing he eats just a few years and 25  
  pounds ago.

  He asked that I send him some reading.
